We see, therefore, that of the eighteen species which seem to
deserve a place among the Birds of Paradise, eleven are known to
inhabit the great island of New Guinea, eight of which are
entirely confined to it and the hardly separated island of
Salwatty. But if we consider those islands which are now united
to New Guinea by a shallow sea to really form a part of it, we
shall find that fourteen of the Paradise Birds belong to that
country, while three inhabit the northern and eastern parts of
Australia, and one the Moluccas.
